Danilov talks about where Russia might be trying to offensive
Apart from the Luhansk and Donetsk regions, Russia will attempt to seize several other areas during its counter-offensive.
The secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine, Oleksiy Danilov, toldReuters in an interview on 7 February.
In his opinion, Russia may try to seize Kharkiv or Zaporizhzhya regions.
Attempts of an offensive either in Kharkiv or Zaporizhzhya will certainly be made. How successful they will be will depend on us.
In addition, Russia will continue to try to seize the Donetsk and Luhansk regions, which it declared its territory last year in "referendums".
The occupiers will most likely try to achieve visible results by the anniversary of their full-scale invasion on 24 February.
